| a novel adenovirus in chinstrap penguins (pygoscelis antarctica) in antarctica. | adenoviruses (family adenoviridae) infect various organ systems and cause diseases in a wide range of host species. in this study, we examined multiple tissues from chinstrap penguins (pygoscelis antarctica), collected in antarctica during 2009 and 2010, for the presence of novel adenoviruses by pcr. analysis of a 855-bp region of the hexon gene of a newly identified adenovirus, designated chinstrap penguin adenovirus 1 (cspadv-1), showed nucleotide (amino acid) sequence identity of 71.8% (65.5% ... | 2014 | 24811321 |
